Xbox Game Pass Ultimate's Stream Your Own Game Feature Now Available to All Subscribers
2025-04-17 08:24:19Starting April 16, Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscribers can now take full advantage of Microsoft's "Stream Your Own Game" feature, which has officially exited its Insider-exclusive testing phase. This Xbox Game Pass streaming perk allows Ultimate members to play select Xbox titles they own on a variety of supported devices via Xbox Cloud Gaming.
Originally introduced in November 2024 to Xbox Insiders, Stream Your Own Game lets users stream purchased games that aren't included in the standard Game Pass lineup. The feature expanded in December 2024 to support Xbox One and Xbox Series X/S consoles, though it remained exclusive to Insiders in the Alpha and Alpha Skip-Ahead rings. Compatible devices now include Windows PCs, VR headsets, Amazon Fire TVs, and select iOS and Android smartphones.
With popular titles like The First Berserker: Khazan joining the program, more Xbox owners can now stream their favorite games across multiple devices. According to VGC, all Game Pass Ultimate subscribers can now access Stream Your Own Game. As of April 16, the feature is no longer limited to Insiders. This means users without an Xbox Series X/S can purchase and stream select non-Game Pass titles on devices like the Xbox One, saving valuable storage space. An Xbox Game Pass Ultimate membership costs $19.99 per month.
A Game Pass Ultimate subscription not only grants access to the standard Game Pass library of downloadable Xbox and PC games but also includes Day One access to Xbox Game Studios releases. The Stream Your Own Game catalog currently features titles from third-party developers like Square Enix and indie studios. With this feature now widely available, graphically demanding games such as Final Fantasy 14, Baldur's Gate 3, and Cyberpunk 2077 can be streamed to an Xbox One or web browsers like Chrome and Microsoft Edge.
However, both Xbox Cloud Gaming and Stream Your Own Game require a stable internet connection, with a minimum download speed of 20 Mbps over Ethernet or 5 GHz Wi-Fi. Currently, 125 Xbox games support the feature, with more expected to join in May and June.
